A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed ,  b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is given by

         N = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

If half of the atoms have decayed

       ½ N₀ = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

       ½ = e^{\lambda t} ₀

       Ln 0.5 = - λ t

       t = - ln 0.5 /λ

The definition of average life time is

      T_{1/2}= ln 2 / λ

       λ = ln 2 /  T_{1/2}

       λ = 0.693 / 100 10⁶

       λ = 0.693 10⁻⁸ years

We replace

       t = -ln 0.5 / 0.693 10⁻⁸

       t = 10⁸ years

We see that for the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed

b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Vikki [24]

The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.

Explanation:

An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

<h3>B. 19miles</h3>

Explanation:

If Freddy drives 4 miles east to his friend's house. He then travels 9 more miles east to the supermarket. Finally on his way back home he out  of gas 6 miles after leaving the supermarket, the distance travel by fred will be the sup of all the distances he covered throughout the journey.

Distance covered by fred = 4miles + 9miles + 6miles

Distance covered by fred = 13miles + 6miles

Distance covered by fred  = 19miles
